Science Project on FF and RR

[halfracedrift]

Hi everyone, i'm new to the automovite forum, but can anyone tell me what a small car model motor would cost? the motor size is like.. roughly 2 cm by 2cm
batery powered, but it has nuff power to drive a model car that is round 100 grams... cuz i'm testing FF vs RR in my science project and i need to keep the variables all the same cept for weight distribution.
i live in burnaby vancouver, and i have roughly 30 bucks to spend on one

if ya know any place that is within my reach, please tell me

thanks for all the help guys!

You could buy a zipzap and use that motor maybe. I'm pretty sure they're under 30 dollars. You can find them at any radio shack if they're not sold out.

hmmmm
well see i know alot of places that carry the r/c cars w/ the motor size that i'm lookin for... but then the model doesn't carry a very nice price.. like.. 15$? and all i want is the motor.. so idunno.

and you say radio shack? i'll go check em out.. maybe they might have replacement motors or somethin ..

You could ask mazkid. He made a thread about a zipzap he got so he would know more than I do.
Nevermind. This link has some "high performance" zipzap motors. Only @7.99!

so what exactly is zipzap........
is it like... a "kit" thing with the motors n stuff?

 

[StevieMo]

Its just a really small rc car. They take something like 45 seconds to fully charge and a charge lasts from 5-10 minutes. I think it depends on what motor your using.

hmmmm
oh btw, was that site in USD or canadian dollar..

 

[StevieMo]

I think USD

 

[halfracedrift]

doh...
ok thanks stevie mo...

zipzap, are those the Char-Gs???They're pretty good motors.

 

[halfracedrift]

yeah.... @ the link that steviemo gave me... one of those tiny motors was said it could rev up to 21500!!!!! 😈

Microsizer is what I got. Same as bit-char G and Zip Zap.

It's a kit, a micro R/C car for table use. Very cool, but they are all RR so that doesn't really solve your problem...tons of fun though!

 

[halfracedrift]

well all i relay need is actually the motor... so its not really a problem...
